Lex agraria
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "other uses".
A Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Plural form: Script error: No such module "Lang".) was a Roman law which dealt primarily with the viritane allotment of public lands. Such laws came largely from two sources: the disposition of lands annexed by Rome in consequence of expansion and the distribution of existing public lands to poor citizens as freeholds. Such legislation dealt almost exclusively with public lands which were held by the state and not privately owned.Template:Sfn[1] There were other types of Roman laws related to agriculture, including those establishing new colonies and those regulating the holding of public lands (Script error: No such module "Lang".).Template:Sfn
The most famous Script error: No such module "Lang". was that of the plebeian tribune Tiberius Gracchus, passed in 133 BC, which allotted public lands across Italy to rural plebs.Template:Sfn Such laws were not without precedent, such as the Script error: No such module "Lang". of 232 BC which authorised viritane distributions of lands in Cisalpine Gaul and Picenum.Template:Sfnm[2] Further such laws were also passed in the years after 133 BC, including that of Tiberius' younger brother Gaius in 122 BC,Template:Sfn and the epigraphically attested Script error: No such module "Lang". of 111 BC. The law of 111 BC, among other things, buttressed recognition of the lands distributed in the prior law of 133.Template:Sfn[3] Other Script error: No such module "Lang". include a series of three laws vaguely described by Appian,Template:Sfn the laws of Saturninus in 103 and 100 BC,Template:Sfn the laws of Julius Caesar in 59 BC,Template:Sfn and a law of Mark Antony in 44 BC.[4]
